[ e————————————————————————— e — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, . . TUESDAY. JANUARY PROTEST ON RAID DENIED BY FESS StateMent Attributed to Ohio Treasurer Without Basis of Fact, He Says. Senator Fess, Republican, of Ohio, flatly denied today that he had pro- tested in October against the raiding of the Jackson Brewery Co. of Cincinnati. Senator Fess made this denial on his arrival at noon today from Providence, R. I. His attention was called to the testimony in Ohio yesterday of John F. Fckhart, acting assistant prohibition director of Ohio, in which Eckhart stated that Bert B. Buckley, State treasurer, had told him that Senator Fess had protested in October against the raid. Senator Fess made the fol- Jowing statement: “The reported statement of Mr. Buckley carried in this morning’s press is without a scintilla or basis of fact. I had never had an intimation of the trouble of Mr. Buckley until within 10 days of the incictment, when Mr. Mau, in ‘my office here, mentioned the possi- bility of an indictment. The news w: shocking to me, for it was the first sug- gestion I had had of it. My only advice to Mr. Mau was that there was no course open to him except to go to the bottom of the affair. Any suggestion that T had spoken as reported to Mr. Buckley or to any other person during the campaign is without any foundation ‘whatever. In no way, either by direct expression or by inference or any con- versation with any one, could such a conclusion be reached. In no way, at any time, did I seek to influence this case, unless my statement to Mr. Mau that he should go to the bottom of it might be regarded as such influence.” ECKHARDT CONTRADICTS SEBF. Refutes Testimony Linking Foss and Cooper With Beer Ring. COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 29 (#).— John F. Eckhardt, assistant Federal prohibition administrator for Ohio, to- day contradicted his testimony of yes- terday which drew the names of United States Senator Simeon D. Fess and | Gov. Myers V. Coper into the con- #piracy and bribery trial of State ‘Treasurer Bert B. Buckley, involving the national prohibition act. Eckhart has testified yesterday that Buckley told him that many persons had sought his indorse- ment for appointments, but that he was interested only in Eckhart being appointed State prohibition director. Under questioning, the assistant pro- hibition director said Buckley told him the raid on the Jackson Brewing Co. “created quite 2 storm in Cincinnati.” “The ‘higher ups' came to me,” Eck- hart quoted the State treasurer as saying. y “Did he mention the higher ups?” Mau asked. “Yes, Myers Y. Cooper and Senator Fess,” Eckhart reylied. Cooper at that time was the Republican candidate for governor, FINAL DIVOR;JE DECREE ACTION EXPECTED TODAY ON MUNICIPAL CENTER District Committee Also Expected to Act on Closing of Streets. Senate The Senate District committee was expected to take action this afternoon on the bill to authorize establishment of the propcsed municipal center in which to house activities of the District government. As submitted to Congress by the Commissioners, the bill limited the purchase of land at this time to the squares facing the District Supreme Court Building and cxtending down Jchn Marshall place. The House Dis- trict committee, however, amended the bill to take in also the squares facing on Pennsylvania avenue between Third and Sixth streets. At the meeting this afternoon thce Senate commitiee also was to consider the bill to authorize the closing of streets shown on the highway plan in cases where changes in the highway plan have rendered existing streets un- necessary. The committee will meet again Fri- day to take action on th: amendme) made by the House to the. diploma m' bill which has passed both branches of Cengress. PLEA OF SICK MOTHER FREES GIRL FROM JAIL Court to Suspend Sentence Imposed on Ruth Barnett, Held for Carry- ing Concealed Weapons. A letter from a sick mother in John- son City will result in the suspension of a 60-day jail sentence for Ruth Barnett, the Tennessee mountain girl convicted of carrying concealed weap- | ons, and the consent by Judge Schuldt to her immediate return home. The | mother’s letter to the District authori- ties stated that she greatly desired the return of her daughter who had al- ways had a good record in her home, but that she was unable to provide the money for the transportation. Upon presentation of the casz the Board of Public Welfare agreed to furnish the girl’s fare back to Johnson City. She will appear before Judge Schauldt this afternoon, when her sentence will be formally suspended. She will then be turned over to the ‘Women’s Bureau, under whose aare she will remain until the departure of the train from Union Station at a late hour tonight. _ DIRIGIBLE OCEAN iCombined Trans atlantic Steamer and Plane Plans | Also Made. S—— | Two interesting_aviation proposals, | one for a super-dfrigible mail, express and passenger service between the United States and Europe, and the | other for a combined transatlantic steamer and transcontinental airplane service, tying up at New York, have | been 1aid before the United States Ship- | | ping Board. | " Both proposals were made as sup- plemental bids to pending bids for the purchase of nine crack liners of the | United States lines. The dirigible proposal was offered by J. H. Winchoster & Co. and Gibbs Bros., | Inc., who offered to build and operate in regular ocean service four huge | dirigibles patterned after the 6,500,000 | cubic foot Navy dirigibles now being | built under Government contract by the | Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation. | The offer was conditional upon_the | obtaining of an award from the Post | | Office Department for the carrying of foreign mail by air under the terms of | the 1928 merchant marine act. The mail | {and express service would be conducted | | first, with passenger service to follow. | Each of the dirigibles would carry 25 tons of pay load, of which 15 tons would bz allotted to first-class mail and 10 {ton sto express matter. | Two-day eastbound service is anticl- | pated along the “great circle” course and, because of the prevailing adverse winds, four-day westbound service would be offered by way of the Azores. The other offer was made by P. W.| Chapman, New York financier, who is the owner of the unique new Burnelli | 20-passenger high-speed plane now visiting this city. Chapman’s offer was | for regular steamship service, tying up | with a transcontinental airplane service 50 as to give the fastest possible scrvice between points in Western and Central | portions of the United States and| | Europe. = — Before the Civil War Indian tribes [IITITITIII - SERVICE PROPOSED - 1] I [ ]I I T [ I SPECIAL SALE of Henderson Furniture 7] U ONE-FIFTH OFF All covered Davenports and Chairs to match.

She claimed that her mar- riage to Saxon was invalid without any decree of court and averred she was at liberty to marry Sonne as though she had never contracted a marriage with any person. Attorneys Raymond Neudecker and ‘William C. Ashford appeared on behalf of Mrs. Sonne. WALK COSTS MAN $6. Men’s §5 Soft .

Police today are searching for the friends, but do not encourage Pete to hope for the return of his money. BACCARAT PLAY LIVELY. CANNES, France, January 29 () .— Play at the baccarat tables in the local casino is running higher than ever be- fore. All records were said to have been broken recently when more than $1.- oogiooo in chips were counted on a single table. ‘Though individual bets seldom ran over 200,000 francs, or $8,000, almost every five minutes saw $50,000 change hands. At one time the chief banker, Nicolas Zographos, who represents the syndicate running the tables, was a loser to the extent of $175,000, but at the end of the session he had netted $25,000. It is estimated that he styndi- cate has been winning approximately $10,000 a night since the casino opened. 6%| LOANS [% See Us and Be Convinced. 1st. 2nd and 3rd Trusts at_Rates Thai Will Surprise You.
